there is nothing like having an imgur(example) account-then having some keyboard warrior replying to a "silly" post with 15-comments which is a 2500-word thesis on why you shouldnt let your image be on the internet comment/break/comment/comment/break and it's only ONE person...and they down vote your profile into oblivion(like reddit brigadoing)

It also applies to your own comments, which means you can't circumvent the character limit until someone responds to you. So, you could create a second account, reply with a period, then continue on with your main account. I'm not a fan of that aspect of the site and I think the character limit should be increased by a good margin. Everyone here seems to have something interesting to say and I don't want that to be stifled.

I don't mind the no replying to yourself if the character limit is increasedZ

Yes, but it limits your ability to continue the conversation at the original level... forces conversations to diverge

Is that a bug or a feature?

And it makes it impossible to invite (mention) people in after the fact or provide extra context to your original post. I don't dig it all that much.

Instead of trying to change a system that you're new to, think of how to participate within its constraints. For example, create new posts with a mention and a link to your previous post. Or start a new post, and link it as a reply.

I see your point. Perhaps a pattern will emerge eventually. But, without direct messaging, I gave up earlier on mentioning two people in threads just because I couldn't. Links make it hard to illustrate which reply am I referring to as it's hard to spot.

Not only that, but you can't reply to someone more than once.
